You’ve posted in a general manner that which I’m seeking in detail. The state by state vote on the act. I think seeing who voted in favor will be interesting to say the least. And go a long way toward dispelling the idea that Southern states were at the mercy of the whims of Northern politicians.
One other thing. Great Britain was doing the same thing, with various protectionist acts going clear back to 1651. That’s why the restrictions did not apply to nations that did not have similar restrictions in their own laws.
To borrow a term from BroJoeK; "Nonsense." Back in 1817, nobody in the southern states could see the manner in which it would impact them in the future, much like the Patriot act has done since it was passed years ago. The southern states initially supported it, but came to regret it because it effectively handed a monopoly to northern shipping interests.
They didn't see it as a big problem when they voted in favor of it.
